Armed Robber BUSTED!

Last week was full of excitement...the Holiday Cleaners was robbed at gunpoint but he made one HUGE mistake...he came into my salon because he was deciding whether he wanted to rob us or the cleaners. He chose the cleaners because there was only person there to our five people. He popped in and asked to make an appointment but because he acted funny and had nice hair (lol!) we remembered him well. He popped in a second time and changed it to an hour later....again, we thought he was acting very strange. I followed him out to tell him I could cut it right then but he was in a real big hurry. About 10 minutes later, the police came in and we found out that he had robbed the place next door. Well, my new stylist and I were apparently the only two that had seen his face out of the more than 10 places he had robbed in the Texarkana area, so with our description of the car and the guy, police were able to find him the following Sunday night after he robbed a place on New Boston Rd. his car was sighted at a crack house and he was found inside hiding. He matched our description to a "T". We went down the next morning and IDed him in a photo line up so there is one THUG off the streets!! Don't forget that hair stylists pay close attention to the way people look so don't even try it! Thanks for the scam info, Pam!!!

Scam in town

Just an FYI to all. This week we recieved in the mail an official looking letter and a check for $968 and some change. The letter directed us to call a long distance # and give them info for taxes because we had won over $8,000. My husband looked it up on the internest and it is a scam. I asked him to take it to the police dept. He did so and basically the officer/dect he spoke with made him feel like it was no big deal as it "has been around about 6 months" per the officer. We did not know and as concerned citizens wanted to make sure no one else got suckered by this.
